Sharon Osbourne launches foul-mouthed rant at 'megalomaniac' U2

I recently switched from an Android to an iPhone 5c (free upgrade when we got a new contract) and this bullshit makes me want to go back. I didn't want this album. What's wrong with putting it on iTunes for free and giving people the option to download?

I have that album only because of the brilliant Brian Eno production. I haven't listened to it for about 20 years though.

Oh Gods... Not another Brian Eno-tard! I get enough of that at home lol.

Because nobody but the die-hards would bother?

I just hope that none of this counts towards the Download charts as that would be some shitty chart rigging at its finest.

and how ironic is it that sharon is calling someone a megalomaniac? twat!

U2 used to be a good band before they started to believe all their hype and Bono started thinking he could heal the human race.

When did people start hating U2? I've never cared for them but I thought they were well-liked.

[fgg]

i've never liked U2 and i don't want to have to find some special tool to delete their shit off of my apple products.

[Mel1973]

Bono should shit in a Tiffany box and send it to Sharon... and also throw a frozen ham through her window. I don't like Bono because he's a pretentious little twat but Sharon is no better!

the day Actung Baby was released.

To play devil's advocate, wouldn't the exact opposite be true? To give away a free album would be the last thing a savvy businessperson would do. An artist would.

I think Apple gave U2 an undisclosed amount of money. At least, that's the impression I got.

[Trixie]

Could Ozzy give away an album if he tried?

[Witchywoman]

Is there any way we could delete Sharon? I'm sick to death of her.

I agree. She's a toxic narcissist. She proved this when she appeared on the cover of PEOPLE with her son Jack and his gf after his MS diagnosis. The headline screamed "I WON'T LET MY SON DIE" and she all but pushed Jack and his gf out of the camera's range. Way to make it all about you Sharon. But she was on my nerves long before that.

I do find Bono of U2 way too pretentious at times, and he takes himself way too seriously, but to his credit, he's devoted lots of his time towards important charities for famine and AIDS. Sharon just runs her mouth.

The last Sabbath album did pretty well.

I saw a report that it cost Apple an estimated $100 million to give this album away to everyone. Waste of money.
